Yep!
Changing from
hecnet-1-1023.stupi.net
to hecnet.softjar.se
in [ipnet]ipnet.cfg fixed me and I'm finally back on hecnet!

Has that changed now? Do I need to use

No. If it works now, it will continue to work.

See
the
HECnet information page on Mim about this.
. I will also create a new PyDECnet node at LSSM to act as another
connection
point for people who might not be able to connect
to hecnet-1-
1023.stupi.net, but which are still in area 1.
. hecnet-1-1023.stupi.net will still be around, and will still be
possible
to use.
This do mean that area 1 will be more geographically spread out. Not
ideal, but I'm not expecting this to cause any major issues.
Performance for some might get a bit better or worse, depending on
various aspects and conditions. But in general, if people just keep
costs aligned with recommendations, things should work well.
Best regards,
Johnny
